Not quite a build thread....

[The V8 Files]

Don't do it Johno, yours is a hugely inspiring build. Like Kev said, store it if you can and come back. Its too good to sell part finished

Please, don't sell it!

Thanks everyone for your replies, I completely understand what you are saying but times and circumstances have changed for the foreseeable future. I have made a decision to spend more time with my family without having something like this to distract me.
I now spend more time away from home than I like and the time that I do have I spend doing things with my children.
OK now down to business...

I thought about it, do I really need two nearly finished builds?, one at home, one up north at the GFs...... mmmmmm tempting.
How much £ do you think it needs on parts to get it finished?

[Johno]

Hi all,
I've really enjoyed building the car and learning a lot and it's been fun talking to all you guys .
Basically since my father passed away I have felt the need to spend all my free time with the children hence the reason at the moment for moving on.

What's left to do on the car....
Purchases
Seat (Kit parts direct) £100
Harness £90
Rear lights £100
Flexible brake pipes.
To be honest I think that's pretty much it.

Hi Mike,
